DZI20-172-Case-2
Uveal inflammation in a blind eye of a 55-year-old patient
Chronic granulomatous uveitis; the uveal inflammation was bilateral, and thus the diagnosis was sympathetic ophthalmia. The inflammation includes areas with macrophages with pigment, eosinophils. There is relative sparing of the innermost region of the choroid. The eye had previously suffered from diabetic retinopathy, secondary iris neovascularization and glaucoma, and retinal detachments requiring detachment surgery (note the gaps in the equatorial sclera at the sites of a scleral buckle), vitrectomy, and lensectomy. KEY WORDS: cyclitic membrane, angle closure, surgery, diabetes.
